NEW Pirate Wench “Build a Minifigure” Q1 2024 [OFFICIAL]

It’s a new year and a new LEGO Pirate be joining our crew!

2023’s Pirate Skeleton minifigure has been buried and another Pirate Wench minifig has been released as part of the Quarter 1, 2024 LEGO Build-a-Minifigure (BaM) selection.

These minifigs are available in 3-pack blister cards which retail for around US$9.99 / AU$19.99 and can be recruited from BaM Stations at LEGO Stores, or ordered from various online stores (which we’ll explore later in this post).

LEGO 2024 Build A Minifigure Pirate in Packaging

Fresh in the packaging – delicious!  But don’t eat.

Previous BaM pirate figures like Captain Redbeard and the first Pirate Wench are still nowhere in sight at LEGO Stores, but the Classic Pirates have located them at certain independent retailers (which we will still get to later in this post).


What Does the Pirate Wench Offer?

The main drawcard of this minfig is the torso design and the design’s extension upon the leg piece. This torso first surfaced during 2020 in 31109 Creator 3 in 1 Pirate Ship* and reemerged during 2023’s in the Gift With Purchase, 40597 Scary Pirate Island; but the printed leg piece is brand speaking new for 2024!

Let us halt momentarily to praise The LEGO Group for making the effort to deliver us something new! A complaint fans directed towards 40597 Scary Pirate Island be the included minifigure’s failing to offer anything fresh…. well by Jove, we have new pirate threads! Fresh from the tailor! Hoorah!

Overview of the pieces:

  • A tricorne hat with blonde ponytail (single piece)
  • A female head with designs printed on both sides
  • A blue torso with designs printed on both sides
  • Standard minifigure arms in blue
  • Standard minifigure hands in yellow
  • Blue minifigure legs with extension of torso design over waist and upper legs
  • A beige bow and arrow accessory
The default parts of the 2024 LEGO Build A Minifigure Female Pirate

Here’s what yer get if ye don’t part swap

The default configuration includes a female head and a crossbow accessory, although depending upon where you acquire the figure these can be substituted with whatever yer like. Because the torso design lacks bosom yer not strictly limited to a purchasing a female pirate figure… unless yer prefer gents with a little extra up stairs, in which case, you’ll be disappointed!

What if The LEGO Group printed a male face on one side and a female face on the other?

The blonde ponytail and tricorne hat are a single piece, but fortunately ponytails were the height of fashion for military men during that era, so no need to give it the chippity-chop!

Captain Braunsfeld opted for blokes – t’was as simple as swapping the head!

Most curious is the inclusion of a bow and arrow…  apparently The LEGO Group shall no longer include firearms in their Build A Minfigure towers… but a bow and arrow?

LEGO Build A Minifigure 2024 Pirate holding Bow and Arrow

The bow and its lethal arrow: suitable for children

The principal behind that technology is comparable to that of a musket or pistol; albeit with a more archaic mechanism for launching deadly projectiles. But the purpose of the device remains the same: to render the enemy unalive!

Let’s add some real pirate accessories and bump her up to Minifigure Series* status

Not to worry!  LEGO Pirate fans can envision a backstory to explain why she may be in possession of a bow and arrow… rather than more traditional pirate ballistics.  Perhaps she was raised by Indigo Islanders and the trusty old arrow is a more effective means of shooting marauding pirates in the bum? Although, that origin story may already be claimed by The Admiral of the Imperial Armada, Don Diego de LEGO.

Also, let it be noted there are plenty of pirate accessories that could have been included instead of a bow and arrow piece. Maybe The LEGO Group was daringly sailing into uncharted waters to deliver us a part not previously included with pirates minfigs, granted that we’re constantly jabbering about new parts… but X marks the spot and the manufacturer may have landed too far from the spot!

So us fans shall gently steer them on the appropriate course…

Kolonial Beamterdemartinez demonstrates how LEGO Pirate accessories should be done

In Kolonial Beamterdemartinez’ creation above, not a single weapon is present… but count the number of relevant pirate parts…  In fact, the good kolonial has almost created a small island set!


Where Can I Get This Minifigure?

Steer a course to yer nearest official LEGO Store and delve into the Build A Minifigure Station… the parts should be present. Although some have reported otherwise, so look a bit further afield.

If yer be lacking a nearby LEGO Store try the wonders of the Interwebs!

  • Also located in Australia but ships worldwide/internationally, Bricks & Figures offers a wide selection of past and present BaM minifigures which you can purchase individually.
